I made two versions of this card basically using two different sentiments.

I was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest. I used Distress inks and a water color brush to create he scene inside the circle. I cut the circle with Spellbinders nesting dies so there is a nice embossed line in the exact center. I used a wood grain paper and wood dots to create the porthole effect.

And the second one which is actually the first one. I wasn't as pleased with the ocean and sky. I used a slightly different colors for the sky on this one. I also used the stamped image as the palette on this one so the waves are less distinct. On the one above I stamped the image and picked up more ink from the pad to fill in the light parts of the ocean. The birds turned out better on this one.
